Quality beginner steel

Post by Andrew Kostrna »

Hey guys I am looking for anything affordable and quality enough to learn on. I have never played before and have wanted to for years. I know the stage ones and encores are great (also impossible to get) but I am just reaching out to see if anyone has anything they would be willing to part with. My name is Andrew and I am in southern Oregon. Thanks

Andrew,
Get this. As you grow you can add pedals and knees.

The guitar is like new. Been played at the most 10 minutes.

affordable guitar

Andrew,
If I was starting off I would start with a non-pedal steel and not start with a pedal steel unless you are absolutely convinced you have to eventually play one. There are lots of advantages to non-pedal guitars besides the price and you might be amazing at what you can do with just 6 strings in C6 and a good teacher. You can check out these guitars if your interested: https://caladesiguitars.com/custom-guitar-models/

Also feel free to call me (727-3856-4170)or email me for more information on why I think this is a better way to start no matter what direction you eventually go in.

I have a 2014 BSG 3X3 Emmons set up I bought on the forum three years ago with the help of a pro player in Seattle. It was my first steel and getting ready to upgrade. Email me if you have any interest. wdlubben@msn.com
